SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD
This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Steps:
- In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
- Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, then remove them from the heat.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good options include peas, celery, red onion, and avocado.
- Make your own dressing. This is a great way to control the flavor and ingredients in your salad. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option.
- Serve your salad chilled. This will help to keep the shrimp and vegetables crisp.
Conclusion:
Shrimp salad with peas is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, this salad is a nutritious and satisfying meal.
